Summer is a season of fun, sunshine, and activity. From hiking and biking to swimming and team sports, it’s the time of year when people are most physically active. Unfortunately, it’s also a season when injuries tend to spike. Whether it’s a sprained ankle on the trail, a pulled muscle during a pickup game, or lingering soreness from a fall, injuries can happen in an instant. What you do next makes all the difference and delaying physical therapy can slow your healing and lead to long-term problems.
At Free Motion Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating summer injuries with a hands-on, customized approach that gets to the root of the issue. Our experienced team is here to guide your recovery and help you return to doing what you love, pain-free.
